allow me a brief moment before i get back to my hectic studying/writing schedule.

this is a follow-up to steve irwin's death, of which PETA is untouched about. i find it ironic, considering how much attention mr irwin gave to animals. through him, people got to know the other unpopular, misunderstood creatures. and i didn't see him as provoking them; it was more of like, getting acquainted with them.

i understand (and mostly applaud) PETA's goal for 'humane' treatment of animals, but their comment is certainly unjustified. it might have been better if they just didn't speak at all.

also, my previous post about the crocodile hunter may have come off as unfeeling, but believe me, i had the highest respect for the guy. and his death, while a loss, was probably the way he wanted it to happen. i mentioned to my brother that he was probably ok with the idea of dying by the hand, er, barb of an animal. he might have even said, "cool! i got stung!" or something to that effect.
